Day 5: Good Day for Numbers

Every morning I get up run to the bathroom and weigh myself, its now becoming a fun game.  My ultimate goal is to be in the 140s by September 22nd for my Vegas Trip. 

Today I jumped on the scale at 5:00am and Boo Ya....153.4 lbs.  I am so close to being out of the 150's.  I have been there since Junior year in College. 

In order to get my 5 workouts in this week, I had to attend two morning classes, which, by the way, are hell. 

A. Its hard to go to bed early enough to get enough sleep to wake up at 5am.
B. Its hard to wake up at 5am.
C. Its hard to convince yourself to wake up at 5am to go do a WOD.
D. Its hard for my body to understand wtf I'm doing to it at 6am. 

Notice the Time Stamp


After my WOD my attitude quick changes:

A. I'm so glad I got this done with BEFORE work.
B. Now I dont have to have anxiety about the WOD all day long.
C. Free time after work, YIPPEE!
D. That wasn't sooo bad, ok yes it was, but I'm still glad its over!


Very excited for Laurie's Wedding this weekend and Dennis and I are going to try to visit Crossfit Norwalk to get our 5th WOD in this week to maximize our bonus points.

Day 4: AM Workout

I took yesterday (6/15) completely off from Crossfit, as my legs and thighs were killing me, and instead went to a Martini and Manicure at Bear Creek Mountain with some friends.  It was worth the negative point!

I'm glad I got the workout in this morning, but they are so much harder!

Day 3: How it All Started

Dennis and I joined Crossfit pretty much on a whim after having our first weigh in for The ROC Social Club's Biggest Loser: Lehigh Valley Competition.  Crossfit was a sponsoring gym and was the location of the first weigh in.

I had no intention of joining since I already belonged to LA Fitness and planned on working out the only way I knew, aerobically.  

Through out the weigh in Dennis got more and more excited about Crossfit and before I knew it I was signing up for an 8 week membership with Dennis.  So it started from there. 

The next 8 weeks of my life were HELL (which I will get into later on in my blogging) but the results were worth it:

From This

To This in 8 Weeks

Dennis and I did not win the actual competition, we came in 2nd place, 1st places winners are shown in the above picture, but Dennis was "The Biggest Loser" individually losing 21lbs.  I lost 13lbs, which was an awesome feeling.  

After the 8 week trial we decided to commit to a full year with Crossfit and lucky for us they were just starting their Best Shape of My Life Challenge, which of course Dennis and I signed up for.  



Today I am continuing my diet as planned, but will not be going to a WOD.  My legs and thighs are very sore and decided I needed a rest day.
